Googie Math / Art

Free Download: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Googies-Halloween-Math-2817430Practice your money skills and get creative with Shel Silverstein's "The Googies are Coming," from Where the Sidewalk Ends. What is a googie? Who knows?! Have kids write a definition for a googie. Next have them make a snapshot image of a googie. Then kids add up the cost of certain children! Once they figured out the different costs, they become googies and choose 5 children (draw/ add up the cost).

Note: Tell kids googies want children to play with, so no one gets scared!
